The Boston Diaries

The ongoing saga of a programmer who doesn't live in Boston, nor does he even like Boston, but yet named his weblog/journal “The Boston Diaries.”

Go figure.

Notes on an email about a barely overheard conversation at The Ft. Lauderdale Office of The Corporation

Plumbing Work on 10th Floor

Hello Everyone,

Please excuse the loud rattling noise occurring at this moment. There is a backup in the plumbing fixtures above us and what you are hearing is the snake.

They are unable to stop the job due to the issue at hand can get much worse. We have asked the plumbers to be as diligent as possible and complete the work as soon as possible.

The noise can be heard more towards the North end, so please move if necessary.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
The Ft. Lauderdale Office Manager

Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle!

“AH, SO THAT EXPLAINS THE NOISE!”

Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle!

“WE'LL BE TESTING IN VAN NUYS? I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN MURRAY HILL?”

Rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle rattle!

“YOU SHOULD GO HOME IF YOU FEEL ILL!”

The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent links to that entry only. The format for the links are simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are interested in, say 2000/08/01, so that would make the final URL:

You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.

You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that important.
